Reading Order

New to my books? Welcome to the chaos. Here's your backstage pass.

 

Everything I write lives in the same messy, music-soaked world — rock stars with baggage, the women who call them on it, playboy billionaires and love stories that don't let anyone off easy. You can start almost anywhere, but if you want the full emotional gut-punch in the order I intended, this is your map.

The Blood & Bone Series

Read in this order:

  1. Blood & Bone — A two-day interview. Twenty-five years of rock 'n roll. And a rock star with truths he's never told anyone... until her.

  2. Breath to Bear — Jack and Erin's story continues, but his demons didn't get the memo that he's moving on.

  3. Bonds We Break — Mia Stone, two best friends, and a secret that was meant to be taken to the grave.

  4. Bound to Burn — Cash Morgan never stood a chance against pink glittered Converse and the sweet taste of peppermint.

💡 Shortcut: The boxset includes all four books plus a bonus novella starring their kids — which sets up the next series perfectly.

Blood & Bone Legacy Series

The next generation takes the stage.

The kids grew up in the shadow of famous parents — now they've got their own bands, their own dreams, and their own spectacular ways of falling in love. Each book is a standalone romance, so yes, you can jump in right here without reading Blood & Bone first. (The Easter eggs just hit harder if you did.)

Read in this order:

  1. Walk the Line — She's filming his band's tour. He's the frontman she absolutely should not fall for. Forced proximity never sounded so good.

  2. Cross the Line — Childhood friends turned workplace rivals, and the line between competition and wanting each other keeps getting thinner.

  3. The Hard Line — A masked musician, a secret identity, and one surprise that changes everything. 

Coming 2027: Beautiful Burn Series (Burn the Sky, Burn the Night, and Burn the Stars). Join my Newsletter and be the first to know about new releases.

Hollow Reign Christmas Novella

The Cross the Line spin-off — with mistletoe.

Four interconnected standalone novellas featuring the members of Hollow Reign, because rock stars deserve happily-ever-afters in December too. Read them after Cross the Line for maximum feels, or grab them anytime you need snow, secrets, and a bassist with a baby on the way.

  1. Silent Night, Holy Secret — second chance, secret baby

  2. Silver Bells, Single Bed — one bed, his bandmate's sister

  3. Jingle Bells, Wedding Vows — accidental Vegas wedding

  4. Santa Baby Daddy — one night stand, surprise pregnancy (not his)

Standalones and More

BEAUTIFUL-LIES_SMALL.jpg

No homework required.

Beautiful Lies — A forbidden, reverse age gap standalone. One wild night with a younger musician was all it was supposed to be... until he walked into her sister's rehearsal dinner. Completely standalone — start here if forbidden is your flavor.

Kingmakre Trilogy Boxset Cover 2-2.jpg

The Kingmaker Trilogy — My political romance era: a senator's playboy son, an escort, and a marriage of convenience that was never supposed to feel real. One couple, three books, read in order: King of Nothing → Queen of Ruin → State of Union. (Books one and  two end on a cliffhanger. #sorrynotsorry.) or grab the omnibus with all three books together plus a special bonus epilogue.

Still not sure where to start?

If you want the full saga: Blood & Bone → Legacy → Hollow Reign → Beautiful Burn.

If you want rock star, right now: Walk the Line.

If you want forbidden and standalone: Beautiful Lies.

If you want power, politics, and a little taboo: Kingmaker Trilogy.

However you start — welcome. The music's already playing.
